IOS 5 Audiobook Problem

Just updated to 5.0.1 and now my audiobooks do not play. If try to play the track, it immediately exits out into track menu.
not sure if problem with ios 5 or itunes

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

IOS 5 problems [reply all problems HERE]

Please reply all iOS 5 problems here so Apple can read them and fix.
my iOS 5 problem is that I can't listen my music on iphone.
when i click play nothing happens.

Yesterday, I wanted to update both my iPhone 4 and our iPad to ios 5 and boy this turned out to be a 5 hour affair with only the iPhone successfully installed. Initially, I had to update my iTunes to 10.5 which requested a PC reboot. Coincidentally Microsoft also had 8 updates requiring installation when I rebooted - already 45 mins lost. With iTunes 10.5 successfully installed, we then proceeded to install ios 5 on the iPad. The software downloaded OK (700MB plus and lots of activity on the Apple servers), the download speeds were slow. OK, an hour later and now ready to install, except there was an error after error after ........error message, all completely meaningless and then something about not being able to make contact with the Apple servers to verify ..... whatever.
Against my better judgement, now tried to install ios 5 on my iPhone 4. And again, the 700MB download (another 60 mins), backup of the iPhone and then installation and then for some reason the restore was interrupted/continued three to four times. Sometimes the Apple device lost connection with my laptop (was the cable faulty? Never before...., sometimes an uninitiated reboot was required (and not requested) to keep things moving along.
Apple, are you there? What went wrong? We're just as devasted as you all are that Steve is no longer around but is this a tribute? This kind of performance is what Microsoft provided a decade ago! Is this good enough?
A slightly less Apple enthusiast today!

HT201320 setting up mail in ios 6 problems

While setting up mail on my iphone 5, the account (Both gmail and Yahoo) gets stuck on "adding account" and eventually times out. I have had 3 iPhones prior, iPads and have never had this problem before. Is it an ios 6 problem??? Thanks!

Perhaps you have a corrupted Mail preferences file. If you are familiar with using the command line from the Terminal application, I would suggest you try this:
plutil -lint /Users/<your user name>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
My file was fine, so I received this response:
/Users/<your user name>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist: OK
Your results may vary if the plist file for Mail on your machine contains syntax errors.

Overdrive/IOS 5 Problem solved !

Overdrive sent an email to a gentleman posting on their Facebook page stating that they had a fix to the transfer problem since the IOS 5 upgrade. They said to download the upgrade to Overdrive Media Console on their web page. When I went to their page, there was no menion of the fix or a new upgrade but I decided to try it anyway. It works !!!! I downloaded a new book. Overdrive now creates a new playlist for the book -- they no longer go into audiobooks. No more funky numbers and the book art is back. I was able to listen to the book on my iPhone 4 (IOS 5) with no problem. Hopefully, there will be a smooth transition from section to section -- I haven't listened long enough yet to know for sure. Please spread the word because Overdrive obviously isn't (or maybe they are -- one email at a time)

I woukd call it a fix yet but it does work. What i had to do is uninstall and then reinstall overdrive on my pc. The result was simular to yours, it set up a new play list but only placed one of the tracks in the new play list. When i look on the ipod itself it doesn't display any of the books downloaded parts in the audiobooks section like it used to, but wheb i looked in the that folder on my pc through itunes they were all there. All i had to do was drag them into the new playlist through itunes and now i'm good to go. Like i said it's not really a fix at this point but a work around. By the way i've transfered 2 books this way and it was the same result each time.

IOS 5 Problems on Iphone 3GS

I just upgraded my Iphone 3GS to IOS5 and it seems that I encounter a new bug every day. First, the phone runs much slower. This I could tolerate but now I can't use some of my favorite apps most of which seem to be associated with listening to audio. I can no longer listen to saved programs on NPR News. My audiobook app "Bookmark" will no longer function at all. The new Iphone app "Music" which seems to have replaced the old "Ipod" app will not play MP3 audiobooks. Does anyone out there know what's going on. Are there any fixes to these problems? Jim

I do appreciate your suggestion. I did update to IOS 5.0.1 and the problem with not being able to save or play items in the NPR News "Playlist" seems to be OK now. However, neither the stock Iphone "Music" app nor my purchased "Bookmark" app can play MP3 audiobooks since the IOS 5.0, and IOS 5.),1 updates, and there are no updates to either app in the App Store. If anyone could help I would appreciate it as I really use MP3 audiobooks.

IOS - iCal problem - Events appear as "all-day" whereas they shouldn't

See below a conversation I had with a service provider.
There is a bug in iOS when dealing with events in UTC times.
Any solution to this?

Hi,
I noticed a small problem with a calendar to which I subscribed on my iphone.
Events that are configured to last from 6.30pm to 7.30pm appears as Full-day events on iOs.
Thank you for reporting this issue. We're aware that IOS sometimes
misinterprets the iCal files we provide. It appears that it is reading
the times properly (as seen in the event detail and grid views), but is
mislabeling the events as all-day in the list view. Is this what you're
seeing?
Thank you
Michael
Exactly.
In the event's details, times are OK, but in the listing, event appears as all-day.
But why only for 6.30 to 7.30? When i change times to 5.30 to 6.30, it shows fine.
It appears to be related to the interpretation of time-zone information. We provide the game times in UTC format and count on your device's calendar program to make the appropriate adjustments for the local time zone. When the provided UTC times span two days (e.g. 11:30pm - 12:30 am, before time zone adjustment), IOS seems to mislabel the event as "all-day".
Thank you.

Does this problem still occur with iOS8?

Iphone 6 + iOS 8 problems. Halp!

I own an iPhone 6 + 64gb. It was installed with iOS 8 and worked fine for a small period of time.
But, unexpectedly, landscape mode stopped working for the iPhone settings menu, the weather app and the home screen and some others apps.
Videos still work in landscape and so do messages, notes, photos, calendar, Maps, calculator, contacts, etc. So the problem seems to be a bit random.
I add that I did not leave the orientation lock button on.
The view I chose when I first powered my iPhone is zoomed and it hasn't been changed ever since. (so in a nutshell, landscape mode worked fine and now it's not)
I installed iOS 8.0.2 and it didn't solve the issue.
Apart from that, I used to have tabs in Safari just below the search / URL bar (like on an iPad)... I could switch easily by tapping the tab I wanted but now they're gone.
Finally, I used a save from my iPhone 4 so I managed to keep 4 years' worth of messages. But unfortunately, these messages can't be searched for in Spotlight. Only the new ones I sent and received with my iPhone 6+. Is that normal?
I feel like Apple is starting to act like MS and is using their customers as beta testers.
Can anyone help ?

Ok, just updated my phone
Apparently the Messages search has been fixed...
Still having troubles with some apps which won't use landscape mode when they should but overall iOS 8.1 has received noticeable improvements

Ipad 2 with IOS 6 problems with apps and battery

Ok, I had updated my iPad the day of or day after the IOS 6 came out and at first I had no problems with it. Except now, for some reason I am starting to have problems with different apps and with the battery life. First off within 15 minutes, it went down to almost 90% charge with it being a full charge and me hardly using any apps and closing the ones I wasn't using (which was just safari and Facebook open). But the problem I have been having is that I cannot chat with my friends on the Facebook app now because it will show its loading the chat box and then freeze up. With pages and numbers, they seem to take longer than usual to load up which is around 10 seconds or so before I can do anything. I had uninstalled and reinstalled the apps with no effect and tried restarting my iPad. It also seems like my iPad is taking longer to shut down and turn on than usual even though i make sure all the apps are closed before turning it off. (the location services, bluetooth, notifications, FaceTime, messages, and limit ad tracking is all turned off to help with battery life and i don't use them.)Is there any suggestions on what I can do to fix this problem?

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Logic Remote issues after updating to iOS 8, problem solved!

Has anyone else has been experiencing connectivity issues with Logic Remote after updating to iOS 8?
After updating to iOS 8 I could no longer connect so I sent a feedback report to Apple and got a response that cleared up my problem immediately:
Navigate to the following directory on your desktop system running GarageBand:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.garageband10/Data/Library/Preferences/
You can quickly navigate there using the “Go” menu in Finder -> Go To Folder (shift-command-G), then copy this path:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.garageband10/Data/Library/Preferences/
In the Preferences folder should be a file named "com.apple.garageband10.cs”.
Make sure GarageBand is not running and delete the "com.apple.garageband10.cs” file.
Relaunch GarageBand and see if you should now be able to connect.
The same can be done for Logic by navigating to:
~/Library/Preferences/
And deleting "com.apple.logic.pro.cs" and restarting Logic.
Note that doing this will fix Logic Remote connectivity issues (and possibly other problems with latency and mixer functionality) but will also delete any other Controller settings that you've configured with Logic, if you happen to be using another controller of some sort.

Note: Removing the CS (Controller Surface) plist is a part of the basic troubleshooting procedures for Logic Pro (and GB)
See section #8
Logic Pro X: Troubleshooting basics

IOS 7 problem after going to dodgy website after clicking link

Hi. I need to totally reset my iPhone 4 (iOS 7) after clicking link to dodgy website. Not something I normally do. Now having problems with phone. Thinking reset may help. How is this done?
Thanks

Tunes froze when I upgraded to 10.2.1.1 after recently acquiring a 3rd generation Nano to replace my 1st generation that wouldn't reset. It's all working now after uninstalling 10.2.1.1 and then installing 10.1.2. I had to delete "iTunes Library.itl" for iTunes to load. I then had add my folder to get back all my Poscasts and then re-subscribe to my relevant podcasts. After this I upgraded back to 10.2.1.1 and everything is sweet . So effectively I rebuilt my "iTunes Library.itl" file - I suspect that this file became corrupted either during the iTunes upgrade and/or introducing mt new iPod Nano and/or something else.

IOS 7 PROBLEM OF BLUETOOTH OUTPUT..

The time I update my iphone 5 to ios 7 my output audio of my bluetooth got problem..is there any solution to adjust the volume? i tried the volume of the unit and the iphone, it did not work...

There are 2 new things & one old thing that might be causing this issue. Of the new things, one is on the phone itself under Settings > Music: scroll down you'll find a new option to "show all music." If this is on, all of your "cloud" music will appear (which, if you're like me and don't really use the cloud, means music purchased in the iTunes store). So turn that sucker off & those tracks should go away.
Next thing to check is that when you sync your iphone (this setting is on your Mac), go to Music, then look at Playlists and you'll see a new Purchased playlist above all the other ones. It may be checked by default, which would (again) result in all your iTunes Store purchases showing up when you don't necessarily want them to. Uncheck that.
Now for the old thing, when you purchase a track from iTunes Store and then sync your iPhone, the ALBUM will be checked and will sync and keep syncing until you find it and uncheck it. You can find this by highlighting your phone while connected to iTunes (setting is on your computer again), going to Music, then to Albums and scrolling down to find the offending items (they'll be listed under Albums even if you only bought a single). Also wouldn't hurt to take a trip through Arists, Playlists and Genres to make sure nothing is ticked there that shouldn't be.
It's all new to me too, so apologies if none of this works but it should be a start, at least.

IOS 5 problems on iPhone 4

ok so apperently like everyone's having problems with their iphones upgraded to iOS 5 right?
umm my problem's kinda different...
i bought the iphone (+sim card) in october last year in singapore.
then i moved to korea in december and tried to get a new sim card (number) so i could keep using my iphone as my phone
but the person at the handphone shop (or wev its called) said that its gonna be complicated so i just bought a new phone in korea
and i've been using my iphone 4 without a sim card, just like an itouch.
it's been fine downloading the new iOSes till now but as u all know, this new upgrade's different.
and since this one requires a sim card to activate the iphone.... uhh.. yea i kinda don't have one.
i'm going somewhere with my friends tomorrow and i was gonna take pictures and videos on my iphone.
but now i can't do that because i can't set up my iphone and get it to work!!
pls pls help me

What do you want us to do, mail you a Sim card?
You know what you need. There is no workaround to needing a SIM in the phone to activate it when you update. It doesn't necessarily have to be a "live" SIM, I don't believe.
If your phone was not factory unlocked, but was 'hacked', you will need a SIM from the carrier it was originally locked to as the update will re-lock it.
